I think it's pretty normal to want something stable and supportive after being traumatized. It helps if you can tell yourself that it's ok to need them now and that it's not forever. It may seem impossible right now to imagine being on your own again but independence is possible. I agree with those who suggested a good trauma specialist. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself time, but not a timetable.
